Current Position: Medical Billing Clerk and Medical Coder at Saint John’s Riverside Hospital
Email: jaltier1@binghamton.edu
Upon graduating from Binghamton University in 2008, I began my career path in
healthcare, specifically in medical billing and coding by working on Cigna health
insurance claims for an orthopedic company learning all the intricacies of health
insurance and how claims are billed and coded correctly. From there, I moved onto
billing and coding for a range of several types of medical insurances from governmental
to other commercial health insurances for an EMS company that was designed to use
advanced methods of technology to help provide the customers a better way to billing.
Currently, I have moved onto billing and coding for Saint John’s Hospital where I
serve
as a medical biller and coder that tries to help resolve claims that are not paid
upon.
Therefore, the reasoning for me wanting to obtain my Executive Master's of Science
in Industrial and Systems Engineering was because I discovered there were ways that
could have utilized their resources and provided more concrete strategies for improvement
within each position I have held. Thus, I felt obtaining a Master of Science in Industrial
and Systems Engineering through healthcare concentration would allow me to better
leverage information technology through making improvements and providing certain
methodologies to help that change within the healthcare industry. Feel free to contact
me if you have any questions or concerns about the program for it would be my pleasure
in doing so.

Advanced Graduate Certificate in Leading Change in Healthcare Systems
Current Position: Visiting Scientist at Mount Sinai
Email: omolina2@binghamton.edu
I have been on a quest to battle the rise of preventable disease at the population level as the leading cause of death in the world. This has led me to a deep dive into the root cause of health disparities, structural discrimination, and racial violence. My journey ultimately brought me to beautifully discovering Health Systems Science and understanding why the American Medical Association made it the third pillar of Medicine.
At the Health Department, I am the primary author of the Legacy Report – a report which is meant to serve as a reference and a manual on how the agency took steps toward battling health disparities, structural discrimination, and systems of oppression. This also includes all the events which led to the NYC Board of Health passing a resolution declaring racism as a public health emergency.
At the CUNY School of Public Health, I am part of the team who recently received $8.1 million from the NIH to develop the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) and computational modeling center for precision nutrition and health. The center will develop state-of-the art AI, machine learning (ML), Big Data methods and other data science approaches to better understand and improve diet and nutrition.

UG Background: Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Health Policy, Analysis & Management minor, Cornell University Class of 2020
Current Position: IT Project Manager II at Pinterest, Metrics and Reporting
Email: bgenova1@binghamton.edu
I've always wanted to pursue a Masters Degree and knew I wanted to go this route since first walking on Binghamton's Campus freshman year, I just didn't know what Masters path I was going to follow. Senior year I had the opportunity to take Fundamentals of Health Systems as a part of my BS ISE elective coursework, and was enthralled by the different application of engineers in healthcare. I already knew of the Manhattan Program from being a part of the System Science and Industrial Engineering Department, but learning that this was still a MS ISE, in all its fundamentals, but just took the application into the hospital - I knew I wanted to learn more. My Senior Capstone Project was creating a Standardized Medical Equipment Trial Process for United Health Systems and led us to be the Systems Design Track for the 2020 Capstone Competition at West Point. Starting to understand and applying ISE in a hospital setting solidified my choice of pursuing the Manhattan Program. My decision was made pre-pandemic but after the world shut down the need for Industrial Systems Engineers in health systems is even more prevalent! While I am not currently working in health systems I am still using my classwork in Six Sigma, project management, probability and statistics, and quality improvement in my day-to-day at Pinterest. Being such a selective program, I am especially grateful for the support of all the professors, advisors, and classmates that this program provides on a personal level.

Email: nallgoo1@binghamton.edu
Throughout my education, I had a passion for math, science, technology, and health.
During my undergraduate studies, I was given the opportunity to become a Physics TA
while studying biology and math. Within that period, I was advised to apply to the
competitive post- baccalaureate medical dosimetry program as a Health Sciences major.
After shadowing, the different medical dosimetrists within the Radiation Oncology
Medical Physics Department, it clicked. I wanted to make a difference in healthcare
in an innovative and creative way. Thereafter, working in two top hospitals designing
radiation treatment plans and participating in published studies exposed me to ample
opportunities for improvement. There is a growing demand within healthcare, an increased
complexity of treatment, and data driven science. The tools and learning experiences
gained from the program are essential tools to improve care, patient safety, and more.
I have applied several tools at my workplace and will seek further opportunities to
improve care. If you are interested or have any questions about the Master of Science
in Industrial and Systems Engineering degree, please contact me.

I have been contemplating going back to school for some time and after a handful of years in Montefiore, I was told of a great opportunity in this Binghamton program. Instead of getting my degree in another field, and going back to square one, the thought of continuing a path in healthcare seemed like a no-brainer to me. I have always been interested in statistics and storytelling, and the healthcare program was a great place to focus on that. The tools of this program have surely made an impact on both myself and the community at large. Healthcare is one of the most complex systems in the United States and I hope to bridge the gap in access to care and long-term health outcomes. If you are interested in the Industrial Engineering and Systems Science degree, or if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Sameerah Shaik
Course of Study: MS Systems Science with exec concentration in Health Systems. In
the fall, I’ll be attending William Carey’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (WCUCOM)
as its class of 2024.
UG background: Bachelor of Science in Integrative Neuroscience and BA in Spanish Language
and Literature from Binghamton University
Employment: During my gap year, I worked with AmeriCorps at the Southern Tier AIDS
Program and then worked as a medical scribe at Northwell Health Monter Cancer Center.
When I reached my senior year of undergrad, I realized I needed to take a gap year to
focus on strengthening my application for medical school and gain more experience.
As I explored different options and debated whether to work or pursue a master’s,
I came across an info session for the Executive Masters of Health Systems program
in Manhattan. This caught my eye because I knew I wanted to obtain a master's in an
applicable field to healthcare. I considered other programs at other universities
like a MHA or MPH, but the beauty of this program was that it was only on Saturdays,
located in Manhattan (which is close to home) and allowed me to gain clinical experience
during the week. While balancing my master’s program, working at the Monter Cancer
Center, and going through the application process for medical school was challenging,
I am grateful for the experience and the knowledge learned from this program and for
the connections I have formed with my professors and cohort colleagues. This program
opened my eyes to learn more about the inner workings and behind the scenes of healthcare.
I knew I wanted to become a physician, but this program showed me that it is more
than just being a successful physician; it is about continuously improving the healthcare
system by making it more lean and efficient in order to consistently delivering quality
medical care.

As a musician, I naturally view my environment and experiences through the lens of a creative. This program has given me to the tools to put my creative visions into practice through advanced strategic methodologies like Lean/Six Sigma, to complex technical skills like modelling and simulation. I've always been curious and interested in learning new concepts, but never found an appropriate way of linking my coursework, skills, and passions together. Now, having secured a full-time position at Mount Sinai Health Systems, I feel as though the intersection of my business, healthcare, and creative interests have been aligned through my pursuing a degree in systems engineering. My goal in the future is to incorporate music into healthcare by developing proactive music therapy programming for patients with neuro-degenerative disorders, and beyond the technical skills I honed through this program, I learned how we as a society should be tackling our problems in healthcare: by building change through a radical commitment to patient experience and quality care.
